I have always using picturing myself in my learning process. When I was 17 year I made an 100 pages study about the Nez Percé - indians lifestyle and history, as a special project. I never learned more about history, english and how to rule a project. But my degree became worse.

Now I working with this type of project in schools in regular term. We are a team who learn classes about swedish history…

I really like your work! Wanted to tell you about Keith Knight, a California cartoonist. I think you might have some ideas in common since he has done a lot of work with schools and teachers who want to teach about media and production. He does this out of the goodness of his heart and is a really talented teacher. Keith has a syndicated comic strip called the K Chronicles and you can see some of his work at: http://www.kchronicles.com/ Well, the K Chronicles aren't always for youngsters really, but you get the idea. Also wanted to share that I have success using the Walking Dead and other comics to teach shot composition vocabulary. Manga manga manga...They really like them. Look forward to reading about your work here.

Wow! I want to hear everything about using cartooning in the classroom. thanks for your posts! I just read the books Zoom and Re-Zoom to my summer farm camp kids and had them draw a series of zooming in or out from a particular location at the farm. That was fun, and illuminating about children's perspectives. I'd love to get more and more and more ideas for cartooning and creative jounaling.

This looks really intresting, and of course I´m intresting.
I´m work at a lot of different schools. I don´t know which one suits for this eu-projects.
One is Kulturskolan (the culture school), it rules by Stockholm town, and I´m a teacher in comic art there, and other projects. I can talk to my chiefs, they are in general positive to this kind of projects.
My other schools:
www.teckningsskolan.com - a private distance school in drawing.
www.serieskolan.com - short courses in making comics, manga.

Hi, I´m looking for more partners as to a new Comenius project about educational digital literacy (drawing involved as well) with wikis, screencasting, blogs ...
What about your school? In general are interested in joining? I also will start a new eTwinning project on Web 2.0 appl. - one partner comes from Nicosio (Cypres)

Hallo Esbjorn, danke für deine Antwort!

Hello Esbjorn, your profile comic looks great! Congrats! I´m involved in Comenius activities & eTwinning with a school from Sweden. The school is from Island Tjörn near of Göteborg. Two weeks ago I´ve been in Stockholm and I stayed in very nice hotel 25 km away. I like Sweden very much and in October I will be back because of a meeting in Göteborg.
Much power to you!
Greetings
